The Billionaire's Hidden Affection

"What? You don’t want to go? Or, you don’t like this place? You can also name a location and we can compare..."

"Hey... Xiaojue... why aren’t you talking?"

He kept smiling, the breeze gently caressing his face, the sun setting... how could he dare to speak up?

Once he opens his mouth, his thoughts would be laid bare.

He just smiled.

"Ah, Xiaojue, you don’t know, these past two years have been like being in prison for me, I hardly went anywhere... no wait, I went to New York once with Li Zhen, but it was such a whirlwind trip, I saw nothing, all the time was spent on the road... Then believe it or not? I never went out for fun again..."

"..."

"To keep up with the other students, to get good grades, I didn’t rest during summer or winter breaks, didn’t go anywhere, just stayed in the library studying, studying, and studying... really, I thought I was already working hard during college, but in these two years at Harvard, I read more books than I did in my entire twenty-odd years... hahaha, sometimes I feel so smug, thinking I look so knowledgeable..."

"When I first entered school, some classmates had better grades than mine, feeling proud in front of me... hehe, later my graduation grades shocked them... huh huh huh, Xiaojue, don’t you think I’m awesome?"

Yan Xixi spoke for ages, seeing he didn’t say a word, got annoyed and was about to get angry, but suddenly saw his face full of smiles, looking so happy, she also started laughing, "Xiaojue, did you know I made something really delicious tonight?"

He nodded.

"Haha, then you guessed right. Look..."

By then, the two had already reached the dining table.

A snow-white tablecloth, a set of bowls and chopsticks for two, a newly replaced bottle of wildflowers, next to it adorned with a few flat leaves... the roses had withered, but that didn’t hinder the wonderful atmosphere, wildflowers blooming in the meadow, casually picking a few, adding some beautifully shaped leaves, and so, the distinctive vase was made.

The remarkable thing was the four dishes and one soup on the table, surprisingly including smoked bamboo shoots, boiled meat slices, and a very tasty shredded beef.

"Xiaojue, have you had this dish before?"

He looked carefully, "Oh, looks familiar..."

"Hey, do you remember once we went out to eat, suddenly there was a power outage, I suggested we do a runner, eat without paying, so we ran..."

That time, he pulled her along, running desperately until they escaped three streets away, then stopped panting and told her: He was a regular at that restaurant, had already called the owner to deduct the money from his card...

The old days, vividly in mind.

"Later I remembered, that night we ate a dish of wild fungus cold beef shreds, it was really good, wanted to eat it again but never made it. Today I got a sudden urge, found some stock, the beef is fine but the fungus is completely wrong, I just made do with Western mushrooms... how does it look?"

The color and shape were quite similar.

Inside it was mixed with Lao Gan Ma and sliced red pepper strips.

"Xiaojue... quickly taste it..."

He took a bite, slightly furrowing his brows.

She got anxious, "What’s wrong? Xiaojue, doesn’t it taste good?"

He remained silent.

"Is it really that bad? Oh well, I thought the mushrooms weren’t right, lacking the right ingredients, where could I find dried goods all of a sudden? Oh well... I’ll try to find it next time, still need to have the right materials..."
